Can I get a sanity check please before I send a message I regret?

My DH has told me to send a message about this to my MIL. Thoughts please.

MIL has had our two children for a few days. She dropped my youngest today at daycare and then brings all the bags back to our house.

She has a key. Usually she rings the doorbell.

This morning I am in bed and all of a sudden my MIL is in my house. I am not dressed. And I didn't know she was coming over.

AIBU to expect a phone call beforehand or even for her to have rang the doorbell before she came in.

I'm pretty pissed off at the minute and tearful. I have depression and a cold. I don't want someone coming in to my house unannounced.

Husband told me to send this:

"Hi MIL
Thank you for bringing the things back today.
I'm sorry I wasn't dressed: still not feeling well. I don't want to pass on my fever/bug.

Would you mind ringing ahead or the door bell when you come in? As I say, I wasn't dressed and didn't expect anyone here. I hope you understand.

You're always welcome but please let me know before you come in."

Thoughts please. 😔

Hi, so sorry for the delay.

We're moving this over to our Relationships topic now at the OP's request. OP, we hope you're okay. Flowers
